Going slightly off topic (books instead of movies), has anyone read A Confederacy of Dunces?
The NY Times Book Review listed it as one of the top 25 novels of the past 125 years.
I read it. Perhaps I am stupid, lack sophistication, or I don't understand great satire (or possibly a combination of those factors), but it may have been the worst book I have ever read. I kept reading it thinking that it has to get better - but I was wrong. The only interesting thing about it was how it got published - posthumously. Please note that Ulysses was also on that list of best books.
If anyone liked it, I would like to hear your reasons.
